This song features part of a prayer revealed by Bahá'u'lláh for the Fast.
lyrics
I beseech Thee, O my God, by Thy mighty Sign,
and by the revelation of Thy grace amongst men,
to cast me not away from the gate of the city of Thy presence,
and to disappoint not the hopes I have set
on the manifestations of Thy grace amidst Thy creatures
the manifestations of Thy grace amidst Thy creatures.
Thou seest me, O my God, holding to Thy Name,
the Most Holy, the Most Luminous, the Most Mighty, the Most Great,
the Most Exalted, the Most Glorious,
and clinging to the hem of the robe to which have clung
all in this world and in the world to come.
I beseech Thee, O my God, by Thy most sweet Voice
and by Thy most exalted Word, to draw me
ever nearer to the threshold of Thy door,
and to suffer me not to be far removed
from the shadow of Thy mercy and the canopy of Thy bounty
from the shadow of Thy mercy and the canopy of Thy bounty.
Thou seest me, O my God, holding to Thy Name,
the Most Holy, the Most Luminous, the Most Mighty, the Most Great,
the Most Exalted, the Most Glorious,
and clinging to the hem of the robe to which have clung
all in this world and in the world to come.
